this one is gorgeous... I ordered a couple of blind boxes for the heck of it, for a tiny chance at this, the Hernandez or the Beast Brothers Dunny, 'cause I don't shell out the big moneys for the little toys on Ebay :PI'm saving up for some larger rare pieces.

These will go down in price with time. Some have gone for as low as USD 80. These are 1/400, which is the same ratio as the Easy Hey in the French series, which used to be a lot pricier and now commands around USD 75.

I'm like Elissa - I don't care about the rarity of things, just if I love them or not.And I do like Dunnys a lot, and I really like this one.

But I don't chase Dunnys and I don't pay high prices for them - I rather save my money for things that actually cost a lot because of high production costs rather then rarity in the market. Which is why I'll probably never own this Dunny. I still like the design.

I don't like chases at all, and as an artist I'm not going to do them.

Lordsketch, you're in an awfully agree-with-Elissa-able mood today :) Blindboxes give a thrill, and fair enough if you happen to luckily stumble across a chase, but in the cases of old series of toys and such, there's no other way than to track them down on eBay or Doc18's bad ass Toy Boot Sale and suchlike :)

I also enjoy opening blind boxes :P but I have never really understood why people go crazy for dunny. Then again I am not a platform collector. I do have a few funky colour variants but I have never paid more for a chase figure.

On the note of crazy collector; I have dealt with a few crazies over the years. Once this dude bought every single tomb raider bust (7 in stock at the time) just because he didn't want anyone else to have it. I told the dude I would still order more in, he didnt care and came back and bought the 3 others. It wasn't a rare piece, it was just some shitty tomb raider bust. I normally wouldn't have dealt with tomb raider but a few people custom ordered it so I got a few extras.

I still don't know why he did it.... ebay I guess, I never followed ebay prices :P it may have been rare but I was able to order plenty from one supplier. Yet I really didn't want this guy to waste his money ...

Maybe he had some disturbing Lara Croft obsession? Or would he have 'flipped' them? I read an old issue of Clutter magazine the other day and I've only just found out what flipping is, so I feel wary of using the word :)

blind boxes have nothing good for the collectors, just to make them buy more :P it is getting silly now that mini figures are mostly blind boxed and costing so much. For 3/4 minis you can get a nice large figure.

I try to keep to the artists that I like and a few of them happen to work with KR a lot that makes me buy lots of Dunnys to get them :P Luckily in this series the 1/400 is not one of my fav. artists :)

I guess the Dunnys hit very high prices because there are a lot of people collecting them.

I don't collect minis very much, except for artists I really like and older ones I think are super cool (like Neo Kaiju Project). But I like Dunnys and they have a lot of cool designs and they're fairly cheap if you're not after everything or the special chases.I collect *toys* and I don't have any special sub-category like I collect this artist or that, or this platform, I just like what I like and get it if I can, which is why my collection is pretty eclectic. There are artists I would like to have more figures from if I could afford it, sure, but I'm not into multiple colorways and all that.

I'm against completeist-ism and I don't think one should pay through the roof for a chase.I even don't like the word "collector" cause that implies having something for the sake of having it, and it's really not what I"m doing - I like to have beautiful things, great art and stuff that makes me happy.

I don't have anything in your wishlist for trade, but have some other stuff. What kind of toys/artists do you like? I have the Beast Brothers Azteca 2 AP's (both the gold and the bloody versions with signed cards on acrylic frame, 8/20) if you are interested.

Mine came with the string on the bow. I have heard of a couple other people's came with the string but thats about it. I wonder if it is a QC problem or if only some were supposed to come with the string.
